36 Dannys POV
I was starting to give up, it was now 5 in the afternoon and there still was no sign of Tom, no-one had seen him yet! We had gotten a whole tonne of people to help us look for Tom, and none of them had found him, we had been looking all day already. I was losing hope again, were we ever going to find Tom? Or was I going to be lonely for the rest of my life? There was no-one else for me but him, I couldn't move past him, he was everything, literally everything to me.
Sighing, I took out my phone and phoned Harry, asking him if he had seen any sign of him. "I'm sorry mate, I haven't seen anything yet, ask Dougie and Carrie, they might have seen something and are too busy with Tom to phone." Harry suggested, hanging up. I asked Dougie the same thing and he said he had no luck, and was still looking around all the music shops, seeing if he was there. The crushing feeling of hopelessness was starting to raise up inside me, and I wanted to cry so badly, just lay on the floor and scream and cry until Tom came back. I needed to find him, he needed to be home, safe and warm, in my arms. I couldn't survive much longer without Tom, he wasn't going to survive forever out in the cold world without a roof over his head either.
My fingers shook as I tried to phone Carrie, eventually managing it, whimpering when she didn't pick up. Why wasn't she picking up?! Surely she had heard her phone? "come on Carrie, pick up! Please pick up and tell me you've found him." I muttered under my breath, ringing her again and again, not getting any answer. After the 15th attempt, I gave up, sliding down the wall I was leaning on and cried. I didn't even know why I felt this hopeless, it wasn't like there was no hope Tom was coming home at all, someone else could find him, or Carrie could have found him and now was too busy with him to answer her phone.
I hoped that was the case, and Tom was safe now, but I just wished she would ring me and tell me what was happening! I had to phone Harry again, wondering if he could give me some clarity right now. "have you heard anything from the other two?" Harry asked, he was out of breath, he had been running. "no, Dougie has no luck and Carrie isn't answering her phone! Do you think that she has found him and is trying to help him?" I bit my lip, trying to keep that hope running. "maybe, theres a chance, phone her one more time and then if she doesn't pick up, then wait for her to phone you. She'll see how many times you've phoned her and will phone you back!" Harry advised, so I did as asked, getting no answer again. So the waiting began, and I hoped to god it wasn't going to be too long!

I sighed as Danny hung up, continuing to look around for Tom, I was near where we lived, and had circled the whole area twice. Now I was checking for any alleyways I had missed, and anything else I would think off. There was no sign of Tom anywhere, he wasn't around here, and if he was, he was hiding pretty well. "where the bl**dy hell are you? I hope Carrie has got you." I muttered to myself, checking an alleyway for a sign.
Just to make sure, I went around and checked everywhere again, my feet were aching horribly, but I carried on, just in case Tom did turn up. It was starting to get dark when I gave up and lost hope, sitting down and resting my blistered feet. I phoned up Dougie, wanting a report from him, and also wanting to hear his voice, I missed him a lot. "no news over here Harry, sorry. Don't tell Danny, but I've given up hope of finding him today and have sat down!" Dougie admitted, which made me feel a little better to know I wasn't the only one. "Doug, I'm the same, I've sat down on the curb waiting for some news. And don't worry, I won't tell Danny." I sighed, wondering how bad Danny was going to feel when we picked him up tonight, telling him there wasn't any sign of him.
"we're gunna have to stay the night with Danny, arent we? He's gunna be heartbroken." Dougie whimpered, and I could imagine how upset he looked right now. "I know, poor guy had his heart set on finding him today, its gunna be heart breaking to tell him theres still no Tom." I agreed, picking at the grass on the ground, feeling quite lost knowing it was going to be a while longer before I got to see Tom again. I may not have shown it as much as Danny and Dougie did, but I missed Tom a lot, he was my best friend too, not just a band mate. He was the oldest out of the 4 of us, who always knew what to do in any situation, without him here, it was up to me to keep Danny and Dougie from completely breaking down and falling apart. I couldn't cope for much longer with this responsibility, I didn't know how too, I always looked to Tom so I knew what to do, without him, I was lost, almost as lost as Danny was.
"look, where are you? I'll come and pick you up and then we'll pick up Danny, take him home and try and stop him from getting too depressed." I gave in to the thought of giving up completely for today, hoping that Carrie had actually found Tom and was too busy looking after him to phone us. "I'm at the Thames, next to the London Eye, I'll phone Danny and tell him your picking us up. Love you." Dougie answered, hanging up.
